Simple Controller implementation that transforms the virtual path of a URL into a view name and returns that view.

Can optionally prepend a prefix and/or append a suffix to build the viewname from the URL filename.

Find some examples below:

  1. "/index" -> "index"
  2. "/index.html" -> "index"
  3. "/index.html" + prefix "pre_" and suffix "_suf" -> "pre_index_suf"
  4. "/products/view.html" -> "products/view"

Thanks to David Barri for suggesting prefix/suffix support!

Build the full view name based on the given view name as indicated by the URL path.

The default implementation simply applies prefix and suffix. This can be overridden, for example, to manipulate upper case / lower case, etc.

Params:

Returns:the full view name to use
